University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign Electrical And Computer Engineering Graduate School Admission Results

Old IIT CS Undergrad. 2 yr work ex. No Pubs.

Generic Email :((

I called the Graduate Office, and I was told that I'm not recommended. Since South Korea sub-committee decided earlier, I could notice the decision earlier than the general decision. So x100 sad since this was my dream of dream school that I drunk So-Ju (Korea traditional alcohol) one bottle at once. Hope for good dream on this night. Good luck with others especially for South Korean!

Any MCS folks got any admits? If so, please update /r/UIUC_MCS/comments/m011er/on_campus_fall_2021_admissions/ here too

POI I had interviewed with told me I hadn't been selected. He also told me most admits for MSCS have been sent and only rejects are left now. Extremely sorry!!

Had a discussion few weeks ago. Don't know the decision yet.

TTPB who got rejected from the Ph.D. program: Sorry fellow applicant. I have applied to the MS program and expecting a rejection today. Did you get a rejection email from the CS department or a status update on the application portal?

Well, well, well... it's the cursed rejection day yet again.

Womp womp. I'm not super surprised. I really only wanted to get in because it's the alma mater of the LOR writer who told me it was probably too good a school for me. I wanted to turn it down and tell him it wasn't good enough for me!! Alas. Congrats to everyone who got in though!

Sunday morning surprise.

TTPB who was rejected: I highly doubt the credibility of your post. I applied for the Ph.D. program last year and the rejection mail was sent by the CS department. On the application portal, it just said "Program Review Complete - Contact your Proposed Program for Decision Information". And I don't mean that I am expecting a positive decision so close to the decision deadline, but AFAIK the rejection mail will be sent by the CS department.

Just checked Application Portal and saw rejected in Application Status. Emailed POI multiple times but got no reply. Tho she saw my mail multiple times. Atleast could have replied that she is not taking any students this year. Pubs in EMNLP and AAAI with extensive NLP research exp and interns from Big 4. This is the worst, This is the worst!!

The deadline had been extended for about a month so I assume that results will come out pretty late. Has anyone reached out to see where they are in the process?

CMP- theory

Accepted to the CS PhD program at UIUC on 3/11 and notified of an additional fellowship ($3000/year) on 3/12. I'm honestly shocked, I assumed they would have sent out all their acceptances already! Stats: undergrad 4.0 GPA from a decent US public university, several publications but all in applied ML fields, strong LORs (I think). Area: ML

TTPB: In the same boat. But not sure if anyone knows the answer to that question. I'm thinking it'll be a rejection for me since I didn't have an interview. Good luck!
